Christopher Nolan recently shared a story from the time he was working Al Pacino in the 2002 film Insomnia. I actually recently revisited that movie and forgot how damn good it was! If you haven’t looked at it in a while, it’s one you should revisit.
Insomnia is a psychological thriller that was a remake of the 1997 Norwegian film of the same name. Al Pacino is a detective sent to a small Alaskan town to investigate a murder and is involved in a game of cat and mouse with the suspect, played by the deceased robin williams.
Nolan recalled a time when he confronted Pacino about something he wanted him to do in the film, a little note and what Pacino’s response was. He said:
“I went to Pacino after a series of takes and gave him a note about what I wanted. He told me, ‘I’ve already done it. He can’t be seen with the naked eye, but I did it in the newspapers ». I looked it up and was like, ‘Oh, my God’, because he was there.
Nolan went on to say, “Great movie actors can do that, and that’s what I had with Cillian.” Nolan has worked with Cillian Murphy in the upcoming film Oppenheimer and it looks like the actor will deliver the best performance of his career in that film.
